THC Hydra is another classic password cracking tool. Strictly speaking Hydra is a network logon password cracking tool, which is actually very fast. A great feature about Hydra is that you can add modules to increase the functinonality of this hacking tool.

Check out the feature sets and services coverage page - including a speed comparison against ncrack and medusa (yes, we win :-)) Hydra is born more than 10 years ago, this page is used as a recap of the functionalities it provides, but also the differences in feature sets, services coverage and code between the most popular network authentication cracker tools available. Each feature is compared against Hydra as of the current version. This table is updated as new features are added to the project.

Development just moved to a public github repository: https://github.com/vanhauser-thc/thc-hydra
